1963-6039 right front directional indicator and front turn signal not working/cornering lamp does work

Ok so after fixing some bulb issues in the dash and replacing instrument panel sockets and replacing the headlight switch connector along with my air conditioner control assy repairs. My right fender indicator and the front turn signal are not working and have no power going to the white wire or dark blue in the connector. Not sure why it quit when it always worked before. Tested bulb with 12 volts to connectors and they work. Also note that when turning on the right turn signal the rear tail lamp is dimmer then the left. I looked at the wiring and trying to see where I may have broke a wire. Please help as I can't seem to locate problem. Note: this is a non tilt steering system and have looked at the posts regarding these issues but see nothing I can put my finger on other then maybe the switch but the right rear works so I crossed that off as being good. Any one know where the feed to the right front is in my dash or where may be my issue?

Tony thanks but I have checked your post and didn't find what I was looking for and doing the search was difficult. I didn't want to have to pull the steering wheel but may have to. As I stated I did do a lot of the pretesting already and  I thank you for your input and info which may come in handy if I need to refer to later.

Thanks Sincerely

Ray 

The lights run through the turn signal switch. Pull the lower dash connector and look for the 3 connectors that go to the turn signal switch. 

Start there and check for power.

Thank You for your input as this is more then likely the problem. Which as you read I was doing a lot of stuff in and around the dash. I haven't checked it yet but will today and report back if I found the problem. 

Thanks Sincerely 

Ray

Ok I have found the problem and it was found to be in the connector that is outside the steering column that feeds the indicator switch. Some of the wire pins must have gotten tugged on when doing all the other stuff. Another thing I can check off my list.

Thanks

Ya gotta love that.... I bet you walked inside felling pretty good too. :-)

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
